Long Island Left Hand Turn Accidents

Dangerous Left Turn accidentLong Island left-hand turn accidents are all too common. Whether these accidents involve cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks, bicycles, or pedestrians, they are generally caused by the left-turn driver when he or she either fails to yield to oncoming traffic or misjudges the speed and distance of oncoming traffic. With that in mind, if you have suffered injuries or property damage due to a left turn accident, consult with a Long Island car accident lawyer to discuss filing an accident claim.
